Battle Of New Orleans — текст песни (Horton Johnny)

Battle Of New Orleans
In 1814 we took a little trip, Along with Col. Jackson
down the mighty Mississip. We took a little bacon, and
we took a little beans. And we met the bloody British near
the town of New Orleans.
Chorus I
We looked down the river and we seen the British come,
An there must have been a hundred of them beatin on the drum.
They stepped so high & they made their bugles ring, we
stood beside our cotton bails & didn`t say a thing.
Chorus I
Old Hickory said we could take `em by surprise if we didn`t
fire our muskets `til we looked them in the eye.
We held our fire `til we see`d their faces well, then we
opened up our squirrel guns & really gave `em WELL....
Chorus I
Chorus II
They ran thru the briars and they ran thru the brambles and
they ran thru the bushes where a rabbit wouldn`t go.
They ran so fast the the hounds couldn`t catch `em on down
the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.
We fired our cannon till the barrel melted down, then we grabbed
an alligator & we fought another round. We filled his head with
cannon balls, & powered his behind `n when we touched the
powder off the gator lost his mind.
Chorus I
Chorus II
